    Robert W. Kvalvaag «Ya Habibi ya Muhammad»: Sami Yusuf og framveksten av en global muslimsk ungdomskultur Populærmusikk i islam er ikke et nytt fenomen, men i løpet av de siste 10 til 15 åra har denne musikkstilen nådd ut til millioner av unge muslimer, og bidratt til utviklingen av en egen global muslimsk ungdomskultur. Tekstene kan både være sekulære og religiøse, men i denne artikkelen fokuserer jeg på artister som fremfører tekster med eksplisitte religiøse budskap. Selv om islamsk popmusikk har likhetstrekk med vestlig popmusikk er disse to langt fra identiske størrelser, verken når det gjelder tekster eller musikalske uttrykksformer. Det pågår dessuten en debatt i islam om denne musikken er haram eller halal. I denne artikkelen presenteres noen av de viktigste artistene i sjangeren, med vekt på den teologien de formidler. Artikkelen fokuserer særlig på Muhammad-fromheten, slik denne uttrykkes og formidles i den islamske populærkulturen, og på denne fromhetens røtter i ulike islamske tradisjoner. Sami Yusuf Den viktigste artisten i islamsk popmusikk er Sami Yusuf. Sami Yusuf ble født i Iran i 1980, men familien kommer opprinnelig fra Aserbajdsjan. Da han var tre år flyttet familien Yusuf til London. Han utga sitt første album i 2003. Det ble en stor suksess og solgte i over 7 millioner eksemplarer. Etter at han utga sitt andre album i 2005 ble han i Time Magazine omtalt som «Islam’s Biggest Rock Star.» Etter dette har Yusuf kommet med enda tre utgivelser, og han har så langt solgt over 22 millioner album. Han er superstjerne for millioner av unge muslimer i mange land, ikke minst i Tyrkia, Malaysia og Indonesia.

  • CULTURAL INGENUITY: STRENGTHENING the MUSLIM AMERICAN IDENTITY a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Continuing St
    CULTURAL INGENUITY: STRENGTHENING THE MUSLIM AMERICAN IDENTITY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies By Lena Albibi, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. February 17, 2009 CULTURAL INGENUITY: STRENGTHENING THE MUSLIM AMERICAN IDENTITY Lena Albibi, B.A. Mentor: John L. Esposito, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Muslims in America must move beyond theological discourse and polemics to creating a dynamic apparatus that can promote indigenous and organic Muslim American culture and that accommodates ideological and cultural diversity. Muslims needs to move beyond attempting solely to correct their image and dispel stereotypes. While these are admirable goals, they cannot be the end goal for engaging in the creative arts, because such a narrowly defined, negative vision does not allow for an organic expression of the self. It is imperative that Muslims establish an artistic tradition in America, because to be an American Muslim is a creative process in itself. Laying the foundation for an expressive culture will ensure that Muslims celebrate their humanity and affirm their dignity, and they will then be free from having to define themselves in opposition to something else. A positive self-definition is what Muslims need. ii CONTENTS ABSTRACT ii CHAPTER I: CULTURAL INGENUITY: STRENGTHENING THE MUSLIM AMERICAN IDENTITY 1 CHAPTER II: ISLAM AND CULTURE 5 CHAPTER III: IMAGE OF MUSLIMS IN AMERICA: POST 9/11 22 CHAPTER IV: ISLAM IN AMERICA 30 Music 32 Comedy 35 TV and Film 38 Clothing 58 Muslim American Monuments and Sports Icons 61 Civic Engagement 64 Muslim American Education 66 CHAPTER V: GOALS FOR DEVELOPING A SUCESSFUL MUSLIM AMERICAN CULTURE 71 CHAPTER VI: CONCLUSION 79 BIBLIOGRAPHY 85 iii CHAPTER I CULTURAL INGENUITY: STRENGTHENING THE MUSLIM AMERICAN IDENTITY, AN INTRODUCTION The tragic events of September 11th thrust Islam and Muslims under the eye of public scrutiny.

    TBS 16 The Appeal of Sami Yusuf and the Search for Islamic Authenticity by Christi... Page 1 of 13 PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE: The Appeal of Sami Yusuf and the Search for Islamic Authenticity By Christian Pond A quick glance at the top 40 most requested songs on the Web site for the popular Arabic music video channel Melody Hits TV reveals the latest and greatest from stars such as Lebanon’s Nancy Ajram—infamous for her sexually suggestive videos—as well as others like America’s rapper Eminem and Egypt’s crooner Tamer Hosny. Next to each song’s title and number is also displayed a picture of the artist. At number 32, next to her hit Megamix, is a picture of Britney Spears staring at the viewer with the fingers of her right hand resting suggestively on her bottom lip. At number 35, popular rapper 50 Cent is shown in front of an expensive sports car wearing a fur coat, diamond-studded chain and black bandana. Wedged between the two at number 34 is the British Muslim singing phenomenon Sami Yusuf with his latest hit Hasbi Rabbi.(1) Well-dressed, sporting a fashionably cut, close-cropped beard and preferring tailored black suits to traditional dress, he is famous for his glitzy religious CDs and music videos. Born in 1980 to Azerbaijani parents, Sami Yusuf grew up in London and first studied music under his father, a composer. From a young age he learned to play various instruments and at the age of 18 was granted a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London.(2) In 2003, Yusuf released his first album entitled Al Mu’allim (The Teacher).

  • Sami Yusuf and Music
    ARGUING OVER MUSIC The internationally renowned Muslim singer and composer, Sami Yusuf, is about to make his debut performance in Guyana and people of all ages are excited. That’s because many Guyanese Muslims are already deeply familiar with Yusuf’s songs which are easily accessible online. Threatening to dampen their spirits however, is a handful of dreary extremists armed with a set of flawed arguments. They are quoting verses from the Quran and sayings attributed to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, out of context in order to declare Yusuf’s music as “forbidden” (haram) or disliked (makruh) according to the Islamic legal tradition. These dour individuals wish to convince Muslims that the music of Sami Yusuf, Yusuf Islam (the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens), Zain Bhikha, Maher Zain, Native Deen, Aashiq Al-Rasul and a lengthy list of popular Muslim singers and composers are deviants hellbent on corrupting Muslim youth. Listening to their arguments one assumes that Sami Yusuf might be performing an Arab version of Miley Cyrus’ twerking to a rowdy crowd of badly behaved men and women who egg him on as they chug back a few bottles Banks beer. The lyrics of Sami Yusuf songs praise God for his countless bounties, the foremost of which is His sending the noble Prophet, peace be upon him, as a mercy to all of mankind. A similar genre of music in the form of Urdu naats and qasidas has sustained Muslim religious life in Guyana for nearly 200 years and no one has ever suggested, except an ignoramus, that this practice prevents believers from listening to or memorizing the verses of the Quran.

  • Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ______
    Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ___________________________________________________________________________ Carl Morris On a warm Sunday afternoon, in early September 2011, large crowds are strolling around the grounds of a 19th century non-conformist higher education college in Manchester. As the autumnal sunshine and leafy gardens are enjoyed by all, to the rear of the college, in an old peaked chapel that juts from the back of the bricked building, a man, dressed in a dark, buttoned-up suit and tie, moves across a small stage with microphone in hand. Smiling broadly as he scatters flowers to a swaying crowd, the man sings into the microphone. Supported by pre-recorded backing harmonies and percussion emitted from a temporary sound system, he gently unfolds lyrics praising Allah and the beauty of creation, attempting to evoke notions of love and compassion. This is the 2011 Eid Festival, at the British Muslim Heritage Centre, and the performer, Khaleel Muhammad, has travelled from London to perform a selection of English-language nasheeds (religious songs) for those at the celebration. He is just one of several celebrity performers that are here to contribute to the nasheed concert, while outside Muslim families enjoy the food stalls, the activity tents and the small funfair. In many respects, this celebration and similar events across the country are part of an emergent Islamic entertainment culture – a culture that incorporates music as a central, distinctive but rather ambiguous practice. The event was typical of its kind: organised by a Muslim civil society and staffed by young Muslim volunteers in jeans and t-shirts, it aimed to combine a religious celebration with the gaiety of a wholesome and popularised entertainment culture.

  • What Is Islamic Arts? and What Makes Art Islamic? the Example of the Islamic Discourse on Music
    What is Islamic Arts? And what makes art Islamic? The example of the Islamic discourse on music Jonas Otterbeck Professor of Islamic Studies at Lund University, Sweden This article sets out to contribute to the discussion on Islamic art. Its overall goal is to humbly offer a social science perspective on the questions “What is Islamic arts” and “What makes art Islamic.” First some historical examples on the discussion on music1 –music will be the example of Islamic art in the article– will be offered and discussed. Next, a theoretical perspective on Muslim scholarly interpretations of Islam will be discussed, followed by a section especially on Islamic arts and interpretation. The article will then return to Muslim scholarly arguments on music and discuss some interesting, present day artists’ suggestions on how to resolve difficult moral issues that are pressing when dealing with music and Islam. Finally, the article will return to the two main questions. Muslim scholars have voiced their opinions on the legal status of different kinds of music throughout history. Even though the Qur’an contains no verses (or few, depending on the interpreter, see Otterbeck & Ackfeldt, 2012) making direct references to music, the hadith collectors wrote down several traditions regarding tonal expressions with accepted chains of transmission, isnād. Several of the legal scholars, who have over time become the most prominent, have commented on music. Other scholars, less known today, but of prominence during their lifetime, have written tracts that have survived to our days. Below, I will comment on two such tracts. The texts are interesting since their authors drew very different conclusions.

  • Sami Yusuf Ästhetische Markierungen Im Selbstentwurf Als Globaler Muslim
    Sami Yusuf Ästhetische Markierungen im Selbstentwurf als globaler Muslim Ines Weinrich Abstract Der britische Sänger Sami Yusuf (geb. 1980) erzielte 2003 mit seinem Album Al-Mu'allim einen internationalen Durchbruch. Die eng- lischen, mit Arabisch durchsetzten Lieder, unterlegt mit Drum Machine und Trommeln, und das Musikvideo zum Titellied wurden nicht zuletzt in der arabischen Welt zu Hits. Viele jüngere Muslime, aber auch säkulare Stimmen nahmen seinen Entwurf eines neuen islamischen Selbstbildes mit Begeisterung auf. Mit über 34 Millionen verkauften Alben hält der Erfolg an, auch wenn sich der künstlerische Stil in den letzten Jahren geändert hat. Der Beitrag fokussiert auf die ersten beiden Alben, die Yusufs Ruf als moderner muslimischer Sänger begründeten, und fragt nach dem Verhält- nis zwischen dem frühen Repertoire und herkömmlichen religiösen Gesän- gen (inšād). Er zeigt auf, dass Lieder und Videos eine sorgfältige Kombi- nation aus vertrauten und neuen Elementen auf inhaltlicher, visueller und sonischer Ebene darstellen. Keywords Sami Yusuf, Islam, Musik, Nasheed, Fann hadeef In den letzten Jahren sind bewusst-religiöse Trends in Alltagskultur und Konsumverhalten unter arabischen, türkischen und europäischen Musli- men zum Gegenstand der Forschung geworden. Darunter fallen Erschei- nungsformen wie Tele-Evangelismus, Freizeitkultur, Jugendkultur mit Slang, Style, Modedesign, Apps und Musikproduktion, Video-Clips oder Fernsehen.1 Sami Yusuf gehört zweifellos dazu.
